In stealth games, characters can often grab a disguise
in order to blend in seamlessly with crowds.
Take "Hitman" for example,
where players often conceal their identity,
In order to take out high profile targets.
Come on.
Just wearing a disguise to assassinate someone in the middle of a massive crowd
would be MUCH more difficult in real life.
...Or would it~?

Welcome to Season 4 of Immersion™.
Today, we've come out to our Rooster Teeth 'Ballroom Simulator'
To run one of our biggest experiments, ever.
We're gonna be testing to see whether or not
A Hitman could use a simple disguise to stealthily navigate a crowded room,
and take out a specific target. AND-
To help us run our experiment today,
Two of our fan favorite lab rats,
Michael and Gavin.
Gavin: Hey yo! Michael: Heeeyyyy!
Burnie: Hey, welcome back, guys!
Well, Gavin, I felt like you had to do this one because
you're so synonymous with the franchise.
The fans all know that you play this game and play it well.
Do you feel pressure to do well here today?
Gavin: Yes! I mean, on paper, this should be my game.
Burnie: Should be! Michael, do you have experience playing Hitman games as well?
Michael: Oh yeah. I'm pretty, uh, experienced.
I've dabbled in the, uh, in the bald head.
Burnie: Yeah? Michael: Yeah.
Burnie: Well, to add to the pressure, we're gonna be
filling this room with over 200 RTX attendees.
Gavin: It's a lot. Burnie: You're gonna have to navigate
through 'em. Here's how the experiment is gonna work.
You are going to infiltrate a political fundraiser
for congressman Mike Hawk.
Your mission is to assassinate the target
and exit the ballroom without being caught.
If your target leaves the event before you're able to
carry out your mission, you lose.
If you're able to kill the congressman
and exit the ballroom, you win.
But, be aware. If the target goes down,
security is gonna start pulling the masks off of all the guests.
If you're unmasked, you lose.
While the target is giving the speech,
you can decide how to make your approach.
Will you disguise yourself as one of his avid supporters
and using a poison sticker take him out face to face?
Perhaps, you will dress as a waiter
and covertly poison his drink at the VIP table upstairs.
Or will you disguise yourself as one of his trusted
security guards, and eliminate the target
as he takes a private phone call.
Gavin: Right. Bollocks, though.
Because everyone in this room will recognize our faces.
Burnie: Ah. Okay. Well, that's why everyone in the room
will be dressed in the same shirt and they will have a
different colored masquerade mask.
Now, to give you an advantage, we've also given you
a selection of wigs, hats, coats, even different shoes
so you can customise your look.
Just to keep you guys motivated,
we have armed all the security guards with one of these.
(taser crackling)
Michael: Why?! Every time! Gavin: ...every time...
Michael: In the show, you just... stun gun. Burnie: They're great.
Gavin: When was the last Immersion episode without one of them?
Gavin: Pacman? Michael: What you got, look down.
Burnie: What? Alright, let's do the experiment.
(spy music)
Political assistant: Hello, ladies and gentlemen!
Thank you so much for joining us for this momentous fundraiser.
So without further ado, the moment you've all been waiting for,
I present to you,
Mike Hawk!
(crowd cheers)
Burnie: Okay, the lab rats will be entering through the second floor elevator.
Their first opportunity to take down the target
will be downstairs as soon as the congressman finishes his speech.
There are 5 security guards surrounding the perimeter.
2 downstairs, 2 upstairs, and a bodyguard who follows Mike Hawk.
Like our lab rats, all the guards in today's experiment
are Rooster Teeth employees.
So they can definitely recognize Michael and Gavin.
But, the guards have no idea which of our past lab rats
will be running our course today.
The guards will not act unless they recognize
the lab rats and they see them performing suspicious activity.
If they do, they will begin removing everybody's masks.
Alright! Michael is entering the fundraiser from
the second floor elevator. Let's see how he does.
(Mike Hawk speech in background)
Michael: Jesus Christ! There's a lot of people in there.
Fucking neeeerrrrves.
Burnie: Michael begins already armed with the poison sticker.
If he places this on anyone's skin,
the target will instantly be poisoned.
(crowd cheers)
Michael: Yeah! Mike Hawk! God, he looks like a douchebag.
Michael: Waiter's only... Oh, it's back here.
Oh yes! Waiter's outfit!
Oh, poison. Fuck yes. Ohohoho, this guy's getting poisoned.
Mike Hawk: With my skills, as a master debater.
Michael: What the fuck? Is this guy just talking about his dick the whole time? Mike Hawk: I'm here today, to rally for Mike Hawk.
Mike Hawk: God bless you all, and God bless America! (crowd cheers)
Burnie: Michael is taking way too long to put on his
waiter's outfit. Mike Hawk is already done with his speech.
Michael: Yeah, no shit. 4 minutes is not enough time at all.
Guard Tyler: Copy that. The congressman is making his way towards the stairs.
Burnie: Alright, Michael better hurry up and get upstairs
if he wants to poison that drink in time.
Burnie: Wow! Okay, Adam did not recognize Michael.
Guard Kyle: Changing positions.
Michael: Security only, eh?
Okay, interesting.
It's gotta work shit.
Assistant: Alright. Mike Hawk: God, I hate this things. Assistant: I know, I'm so sorry, sir.
Michael: Shit, here comes the guy just fine.
Let me just put that in your drink...hohoho... making you drink so many...
Assistant: Can I get a drink for Mike Hawk?
Michael: Don't say nothing...yadatata...
Michael: Oh no! Guest: I'm so sorry, can I help you clean up?
Michael: Naw, I'm good.
It's alright.
Burnie: (laugh) Did he just spill the drinks?
He just wasted all the poison.
Assistant: Thank you. Mike Hawk: Oh, thank you.
Guest: Sorry. Michael: Hey, accidents happen.
Michael, under breath: Fucking piece of shit.
Alright, new plan. Time to head to the security office.
Guard Tyler: Making my way to the congressman now.
Michael: It's fucking go time soon.
This bitch is gonna die.
Burnie: Whoa! That was really close.
I really wanted Tyler to spot him.
Guard Tyler: Securing the VIP area.
Burnie: Well, that was obvious. Looks like Michael was
recognized by a fan.
Michael: Alright, I'm going into the security room.
Burnie: Yup. Michael blew his cover. The fan has reported the suspicious activity.
Guard Jon: I'll check it out.
Guard Jon: Michael's spotted near the security office.
Michael: Oh sweet. A knife! I'm gonna stab him so hard!
This is the real test. How does 47 change so fast?
Guard Kyle: What are you doing in here?
Michael: Oh, I was uhh...just straightening my shirt.
Guard Kyle: I got Michael. Michael: Hey, wait! No! Stop!
(dramatic fail sound effect)
Burnie: Well, obviously the guards won that round.
(elevator ding) Let's see if Gavin can do any better.
Is that Gavin?
If his wig doesn't give him away, his nose definitely will.
(crowd cheer)
Mike Hawk: Well, folks, for years I've thought long and hard about that question.
And I'm here to tell you that Mike Hawk stands firmly for all of you!
(crowd cheer)
Gavin: Is Jon the best they could've come up with for a security guy?
Guard Jon: I'm not sure, I think I saw Gavin.
Be on the look out for him.
Guard Adam: Copy that.
Burnie: Looks like the guards may have spotted Gavin.
He better be careful.
Mike Hawk: ...to rally for Mike Hawk! God bless you all and God bless America!
Burnie: Well, the congressman is finishing his speech.
And Gavin still hasn't made a move.
His run may end even quicker than Michael's. (Gavin whistling)
(crowd chanting "Mike Hawk")
Gavin: Just gotta go in with confidence, is all you need.
Just a walk in like you belong in it. That's it.
Mike Hawk: Hey, thank you. It's gonna be a big rally.
I really appreciate it. Of course, I'm ready.
Gavin: Alright. Good to go, let's get some bevs.
This one's for me.
Waiters are allowed to drink, I think.
So we're good.
Let's get some more fodder, shall we?
That cheese is all for me. Thank you very much. Just take the whole bloody thing.
Assistant: No more handshakes.
Gavin: Oh shit! Someone's behind me.
Burnie: Wow! Gavin is cutting it close!
Gavin: Cheeeese.
Burnie: Why is Gavin not masking his British accent?
That's not very stealthy.
Gavin: Okay, I'm going for it.
There you go! One for you.
I feel like that was obvious.
Feel like I just did that in plain sight.
Mike Hawk: Oh yeah. (stuffing his face) Ah this is wonderful.
Guest: Cheers to you, sir.
Burnie: Unbelievable. Gavin is pulling a hell of a comeback.
But he better be careful because as soon as the congressman goes down,
the security guards are gonna start pulling off people's masks.
(Mike Hawk choking) Assistant: Sir! Sir, are you okay?! Sir! (crowd surprised)
Assistant: 911, I need an ambulance. Guard Jon: We've a code red. Congressman is on the ground.
Guard Kyle: Masks off, up against the wall.
Gavin: Potential commotion in here.
Adam: Everyone stop, hang on. Sir? I need you to stop and take off your mask.
Gavin: Uhhh, you want some champagne?
Guard Adam: Stop what you're doing and take off your mask.
Gavin: Alright, gimme a second.
Guard Adam: Gavin! Stop! You've been caught!
Burnie: (laughs) Oh he's gonna get tased!
Gavin: (screaming) OH SHIT!
(dramatic fail sound)
Gavin: I DID IT! IT WAS ME!
(elevator ding) Burnie: Okay!
Seems like Michael and Gavin can't slip past
the guards while working alone.
Let's see how they do when working together.
Assistant: Mike Hawk!
(crowd cheers)
Michael: To politics! (drink glasses clink)
Burnie: Why are they being so obvious?
Michael: Alright, I'm gonna scope out- Oh shit.
We've got a guy standing right at the security office.
Let's just mingle til he clears out.
Gavin: Yup. You want double fist?
Michael: Yeahyeahyeah. This looks normal.
Just get shitfaced. Gavin: Yeah.
Burnie: Dear lord! Gavin, slow down.
Michael whispering: Oh, he's touching his ring, he's going to leave.
Guard Kyle: Changing positions.
Michael: I'm going in, boi. Watch my back.
Gavin: That's how you champagne, boi.
Mike Hawk: For years, I've thought long and hard
about that question, and I'm here to tell you...
Michael: I'm good to go and I'm not getting caught this time.
My boi's got my back!
Burnie: Uh oh. Jon is taking his post outside the security office.
Michael: Dude, this vest is nice. I should- I should actually steal this.
Guard Jon: Moving to the second position. Guard Kyle: Copy that.
Guard Kyle: Circulating second floor.
Michael: Buttoning suit, getting dressed.
Just like my mommy taught me.
What the fuck?! Where's Gavin?
Holy crap. There's a guard. (suspense music)
Fuck! That was close.
I'm gonna murder Gavin! Where the hell is he?!
Burnie: Yeah, where's Gavin?
Is he downstairs?
Doesn't appear to be in the waiter's room.
Is he still upstairs?
Oh! There he is talking to Michael.
Michael: I got the knife. We can just get him on the way out.
Gavin: Okay, how about this?
How about this? We'll wait for them to be over there, right?
Michael: Don't point. Gavin: He's having drinks, right?
Gavin: I'll take out his bodyguard. You take out him.
We'll come down. We'll shank Ellis on the way out.
Guard Adam: Nice to see you, congressman.
Gavin: Well, let's mingle. Shall we? Michael: Let's mingle. Yeah.
Gavin: Augh man! All the booze is gone.
Did you see that?
Guard Jon: I think I spotted Michael. I'm not sure.
Guard Kyle: I know it's Gavin. I saw him.
Burnie: Guards are confused because they don't know that both lab rats are inside.
Gavin: We should probably pretend that we don't know each other.
Michael: No, that's fine. We don't. Sir? Back off, sir.
Gavin: Sorry. Sorry, I just...trying to make friends.
Kinda socially awkward at these.
Michael: Full of shit. Here he comes, here he comes.
Where's that idiot? Where's that little idiot?
Target's approaching, target is approaching.
Gavin: Oh!
Guard Tyler: Well, whoever it is, they've gotta be close.
Guard Tyler: Be on the lookout for any suspicious activity.
Mike Hawk: Hang on. I- I gotta get a drink here.
Assistant: Can I get a drink for Mike Hawk, please? Burnie: Looks like Gavin is going to use
the poison sticker. Let's see what he does with it.
Assistant: He needs a drink. Mike Hawk: You know, look, I saw a good sick on the road. Take out a few of these drinks, I'd have problems that way.
Gavin: Hey. Thanks for doing all the work you do.
Burnie: How in the world did Gavin get away with that?
Guard Jon: Tyler's down. I need backup.
Guard Jon: Get out of my way.
Michael: Ugh *stabstabstabstab*
Burnie: I think one stab would've sufficed.
We should get Michael a therapist.
Guard Kyle: What's going on? Did you see who did that?
Michael: What's going on? Gavin: That guy there looks suspicious.
Michael: Dude, I went all over him.
Guard Adam: What's going on? All guards check in.
Guard Jon: It's Michael and Gavin. They've took down the congressman.
Michael: I'm gonna go take out Adam, you keep walking.
Guard Adam: Take off your masks. Everyone take off your masks.
Michael: I've seen a suspicious individual around here.
Guard Adam: Huh? Oh! Augh...
Michael: There's a guard sick back there. Gavin: Don't mind if I do.
Gavin: Don't mind if I don't.
Guard Mariel: Adam is down. I need backup.
Burnie: Wow! They made it!
I honestly can't believe it!
(victory music)
Burnie: Now Gavin, you play a ton of Hitman.
How did this compare to actually playing the game?
Gavin: Pretty good! That was pretty immersed.
I was like, really planning my routes.
You don't wanna blow it.
Cuz you know. The load times.
Burnie: Right. Gavin: To restart. It's a nightmare.
Burnie: Alright. Well, I think on the second run, you guys
did a better job. How did you guys think you did?
Michael: A plus.
Plus! Burnie: A plus.
Burnie: I gotta say I agree. I think you guys
did fantastic on the second run.
We wanna thank all of our RTX attendees.
I think the real winner for today
is friendship.
Michael: Awwww, yeah! Burnie: Teamwork. You guys working together Gavin: That's us.
Michael: Teamwork! Burnie: Teamwork!
Burnie: Is that the poison?
Michael: Yeah, you're dead. Gavin: Yeah.
Michael: You're dead.
Gavin: See the way.
